I have that on my car now. It is one of the loudest systems you can get, but I like it. Fit was good, only issue I have is its very close to my rear end girdle cover. With a stock cover no problem. It fits OK, but there is a dent in it from hitting that cover once or twice. No biggie. If I had to do it over, I'd get the single shot. Cheaper, lighter, similar sound. But the dual 3" tips are mean!

I have the dual 3" ATR system on the GN.
Was ss. and in mint condition when I got it.
Fit was not so good until I had my mechanic cut one inch off the front pipe so the muffler assembly would clear the gas tank by about 1/2" or so.
Took about 2 hours to install with a lift due to the cutting and all.
Good news is he only charged me $50 to do it all and I helped him. Usually that costs me extra when I "help".
Sound is great with the crossflow although more smoke comes out the pass. side than the drivers side due to the design. Smoke meaning condensation.
Sounds better than the Kenne Bell 2 1/2" with ultraflow mufflers I have on salvageV6 the WE4.
I think it's the 3" pipes, much deaper throatier sound.
PS: Don't pay $6 for that ATR catalog!

I had the same install issues on my dual 3" S.S. as Salvage6-but once installed, it sounded great. In hind sight I should have gone with the single shot to save weight. My brother had it, but I just could not stand the drone at cruising speed.

Don't get the single shot on a driver, you WILL go crazy!
If the 3" crossflow doesn't come with specific instructions make sure you put the tailpipes on the muffler first before you try to get it in place up there. Another lesson learend on the lift.
Not that hard to put in just a bit tricky in the alignment.
